		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I discovered that Yahoo had created a email abuse feedback loop system.
Based on my experiences with AOL&#8217;s feedback system, I really didn&#8217;t have high hopes for Yahoo&#8217;s efforts &#8230; but decided to give it a shot anyways.
I signed up to get abuse reports for midrange.com messages.  It took a bit of [...]]]></description>

They claim that, by putting a bunch of garbage email addresses on a web page and encouraging spammers to harvest  the page, they are poisoning a spammers email list and thus making the list useless so that they [...]]]></description>

I whipped up this script that will clean up any spamassassin files [...]]]></description>

Just out of idle curiosity, I clicked on the link they indicated (a bogus E*Trade site) to see what it looked like &#8230; this is a screen shot of what I saw &#8230;

I&#8217;ve submitted a large number of abuse reports to SBC, Comcast, RoadRunner, etc &#8230; but have yet to get any satisfactory response at all.  One report I submitted to SBC, via DSLReports SBC [...]]]></description>
